| | 2-Pentanol Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | 2-Pentanol is a clear liquid that is soluble in water and alcohol. It has a fermented, alcoholic smell. It is used as a flavor and fragrance agent and applied in foods which require a crisp herbal or fruity smell and flavors such as dill, cucumber, cilantro, melon, rhubarb, guava, or tomato. It is used in baked goods, puddings, gravies, meat products, seasonings, soups, and non-alcoholic beverages. 2-pentanol is also used as a solvent and intermediate for the synthesis of other chemicals.

| | Chemical Properties | clear colourless liquid | | Chemical Properties | Amyl alcohols (pentanols) have eight isomers.
All are flammable, colorless liquids, except the isomer 2,2-
dimethyl-1-propanol, which is a crystalline solid. | | Chemical Properties | 2-Pentanol has a mild green, fusel-oil odor. This compound is also reported as having a winy, ethereal odor. | | Occurrence | Reported found in banana, Satsuma mandarin peel oil, peach, raw asparagus, vinegar, wheaten bread, cheddar
cheese, Swiss cheese, other cheeses, roasted barley, roasted filbert, roasted peanut, plum brandy, Bourbon vanilla, Chinese quince,

- A hydrogen donor in the synthesis of methyl furan via catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural over a ruthenium/ruthenium oxide/carbon catalyst.
- A reagent in one-pot synthesis of brominated derivatives of 1,3-dioxolane.
- A solvent for the synthesis of organic molecules such as 2, 4-diaminopyrimidines and 4-aza-podophyllotoxins.
| | Preparation | By catalytic reduction of methyl n-propyl ketone. | | Definition | ChEBI: A secondary alcohol that is pentane substituted at position 2 by a hydroxy group. | | General Description | 2-Pentanol, a secondary alcohol, is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that is a common aroma-active component of food and beverage products. | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. A narcotic. A skin and severe eye irritant. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidzing materials. A severe explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Primary irritant (w/o allergic reaction), (iso-, primary):
Possible risk of forming tumors, Primary irritant (w/o allergic
reaction), (sec-, active primary-, and other isomers)
Primary irritant (w/o allergic reaction). Used as a solvent in
organic synthesis and synthetic flavoring, pharmaceuticals,
corrosion inhibitors; making plastics and other chemicals;
as a flotation agent. The (n-isomer) is used in preparation
of oil additives, plasticizers, synthetic lubricants, and as a
solvent. | | Shipping | UN2811 Pentanols, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-
